Pancake Day!!

Hello everyone,
For today's blog post as it is Shove Tuesday (Pancake day) we thought we would post our pancake recipes and how to plan the perfect pancake breakfast/ desert party.

Recipe:
200g of Flour
300 ml of milk
3 eggs

Whisk all the mixture up and then get a saucepan put it on the hob and put it on a high heat. When the pan is hot pour a small amount of oil and spread it around the pan by rotating it. You then need to pour a small amount of the mixture onto the pan and then rotate the pan so the mixture spreads. When you think the mixture has cooked enough on one side flip the pancake and leave it to cook and then just keep repeating until you think that your pancake is ready to eat. If you are vegan there are recipes online that you can use and follow that are good.

We had the whole family home as we are not normally all in the house at the same time to sit down and have food as we have school work, work and other commitments but it was really nice that we all made time to sit down and have a catch up whilst stuffing our faces with pancakes. As you can see from the photos we set the table and got everything out that we might need to create the best pancakes ever, and I can tell you that they were amazing! 

Some of the things you may want to buy or get out of the cupboard or fridge is:
A pot of Nutella or chocolate spread
Golden syrup
Lemon juice
Sugar
Fruit - we had strawberries, raspberries, bananas and blueberries.

We also decided to put out coconut shredded pieces and it went amazing with the Nutella.


We had a pot of tea and coffee on the table for whoever wanted it and we also had orange juice, pineapple juice and apple juice.

Make sure you are following our Instagram and Twitter to see what our pancakes looked like. We hope you have a lovely pancake day and that you ate lots of pancakes.

Disney In The Dark!

Hello,
So, this is the last part of our trip to Disney and it is the Disney in the dark post. We included all our night time activities in this post for all three days and packed it into this one post for you. Make sure to read our other posts on our days in the park as well.

As we went in October it got dark very quickly. This was nice as all the park was nicely lit up and we even managed to go on a lot of rides in the dark quickly as no one wanted to be in the cold and in the dark. The best ride to go on in the dark is definitely the Mad Hatter's Tea cups as the ride is lit up and it is so pretty and a lot of fun in the dark. We did this ride repeatedly as it was one of our favourites especially in the dark.

We also managed to go on Big Thunder Mountain in the dark. We found that this was the best time to go on the ride as the line wasn't that long at this time and we decided against seeing the fireworks on the first night. We highly recommend doing this as all the lines are short. We also managed to go on Indiana Jones in the dark and found that this made the ride much scarier and added to the atmosphere that you would expect from Indiana Jones.

We then went on its a small world and it was so much fun and we didn't have to line up for long. This meant that it was definitely worth it as we were on the ride straight away and listening to the same song repeatedly. We then managed to go on Pirates of the Caribbean in the dark and we weren't sure whether we were waiting inside or outside due to the setting of the line but the heat told us that we were definitely inside waiting for the ride and we were more than happy with that.

The best part was our first evening meal of the holiday. We went to Planet Hollywood and decided to spoil ourselves especially as it is quite expensive even with the voucher. The portions were good and even we couldn't finish the food as there was so much of it.

On the second day we managed to rush over to Hollywood Studios park after the parade in order to get on Crush Coaster. We had wanted to go on all day but never found the right time as there was always such a long wait for the ride. We eventually just decided to wait and kept ourselves entertained in the queue of the ride along with some of our peers in the lines. To keep us entertained we decided to play heads up and it did its job as we were laughing our heads of as we were acting out all the different Disney characters. It was definitely worth it as it is one of our favourite rides.

We then ran to Toy Soldier Parachute drop as were had also wanted to go on it and thought it would be the quietest time on the second day and we may not of had enough time to do it on our last day. After this we went back to the magic kingdom park waiting for the fireworks. Disney never disappoint with the fireworks and we were all definitely amazed by the show that they put on. We felt just like kids again and it was truly incredible to watch.

Disneyland Paris Day Three

Hello,

This is the last day that we had in Disney before flying home. Unfortunately, we didn't have a full day in the park but we still managed to get everything that we wanted to do done and more.

The first thing we did was fastpass Buzz Lightyear. We had been dying to go on this ride for ages so we knew to Fastpass it straight away so we could go on it. After getting the Fastpass we went straight onto another ride that had a much shorter line and so we went on Phantom Manor which really added to the Halloween theme. It was a really good ride and enjoyable for all ages as it wasn't actually too scary.

We then went back on Space Mountain as we loved it so much and then decided to go and get some food from the Hakuna Matata Restaurant. However, on the way we saw Captain Hook and decided to wait to see him. It wasn't actually a short wait and so we managed to see him pretty quickly. He was not too impressed with the Peter Pan ears we had with us and even almost threw them into the water. Many of the younger kids watching loved this and we were so happy with how good the characters interacted with everyone.   We then saw that Peter Pan was opposite Captain Hook so we went and queued to meet him and he was much happier to see the Peter Pan ears of course.

We still had time to kill before using our fastpass so we went to have a look at some of the shops and stopped to try out some glass blowing. The lady was very nice and had a joke around with us and it was a nice thing for all of us to try. It was then time to use our fastpass so we made our way over to the Buzz Lightyear ride.

The ride is normally really good but it kept stopping due to some difficulties. It was good for us though as we figured out that we were still able to get points even though the ride was static. We were all determined to get the highest score out of us all and so we were taking it way too seriously but it was a lot of fun and Molly was really happy as she had the most points so she won.

Unfortunately, this was the last ride of the day but we saved enough time to have shop and have a walk down the Disney village.

Thanks for reading our post about our last day in Disney. Make sure to check out our other posts on our trip to Disney and leave a comment telling us what you think and maybe about your holidays. Follow our social media which is linked at the bottom to find out more about when we post.

Disneyland Paris Day Two

Hello,
 This is the second instalment of our trip to Disneyland Paris and on this day we decided to go to the magic kingdom park and focus on getting everything we wanted to get there done. We managed to do quite a lot despite there being so many people in the park and we even managed to do some things twice.

We obviously took so many photos upon first arrival and then we went straight to fastpass Peter Pan's Flight. After doing this we found a ride nearby with a short waiting time by using the app and so we managed to get on the Dumbo ride pretty quickly.

After the Dumbo ride we went to Alice's maze. This was so much fun and we got a good view from the centre of the maze before leaving and going onto another ride. This is a really fun thing to do if there are lots of queues for the rides that you want to go on and you want to wait for the queues to go down or if you have time to spare when you are waiting for your fastpass time for a ride.

After this we went to the Snow White ride as it was also a short line. It was nice and definitely good if you have kids with you. Snow White was frightening as a child but was still enjoyable and we found that it had a similar effect when we were grown up but was still really good ride.

We then went on Star Tours and unfortunately for us it was in French. However, we were still able to grasp the concept of the ride and the story and it was still a lot of fun but if you are not a huge Star Wars fan it is probably best to save time and only go on it if it has a short waiting time as it may seem pointless otherwise. We then decided to go on the Carousel ride and it was actually pretty good fun even for people who are obsessed with rollercoasters. When we were walking around the park we noticed there was a small waiting line for the Mad Hatters Tea Cups sop we decided to go on that. When we were walking we also noticed that Geppetto was standing around having photos with people so we decided to join the queue.

We then went for some food at Casey's corner which was a good place to go when we were kids. It is still as good as ever as it has the best chips ever! After having our food we waited ages to see Stitch but it was definitely worth it. Even if we had to sprint to Peter Pan's Flight ready for our fastpass.

After this we went on Space Mountain and it was definitely amazing. Disney added a Star Wars theme to the ride and it made the ride one hundred times better than when we were younger. This was the last ride of the day before going back to the hotel and getting ready to go back out for our night at Disney to watch the parade and fireworks.
